Issue with exporting to PDF

I just came across this issue as well, so curious to see the answer myself. My guess is that it has to do with memory, my board has over 100 frames all with multiple images per frame.

I’m running into similar issues with exporting to PDF. I am working on a large file and keeping getting memory issues if I try to export too many at once. This is a major flaw. Need to be able to export large amount of frames but can’t. Any work arounds?

I ended up exporting in sections. Seems to be a memory issue… Another issue I ran into is that a number of high res images would export pixelated quite arbitrarily. I used the Pitchdeck plugin and exported at 300dpi, and photos would still randomly pixelate on different export versions. Crazy weird. But the solve for the purple images is to try to export in sections (20-30 frames at a time).

20-30 frames would be great! Mine crashes with like 5 frames, and I don’t have any images, just complex components.

I just came across this issue as well, even when exporting a single frame as PDF now.
Memory seems to be working good in my Figma. Help!

Hey @Biank_Melendez,
Sorry for the trouble! Usually, this happens when Figma is unable to fully export a PDF due to a lack of available memory. All browser tabs have a 2GB available memory limit, and as a browser app Figma must work within this constraint. We’re working to make the cause of these failed image exports clearer.

To work around this we suggest you check the size you’ve added your images to the File at by temporarily toggling the Image Fill settings to ‘Tile 100%’. If the preview you see is much larger than the Frame it’s filling, I’d suggest toggling this setting back, and then exporting the Frame and replacing the Fill with that export.

If after scaling down those large images, you still see some images fail to export, we suggest you try exporting to another format (PNG, JPG…). From there, you should be able to convert those images to PDF if necessary.

If this still doesn’t help, please reach out to the support team directly via this form for help: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Please use your Figma account email, include a link to the file, and add support-share@figma.com as Editor, indicate the frame you try to export so they can take a closer look. Thank you!
